Community-sourced · verified for 4.10.0 · 1 source · medium confidence
Hunt down and intercept randomized Ace Pilots that spawn during patrol contracts. Neutralize the target ship using EMP capabilities or shutdown tactics, strip its shields, and secure the wreck to loot rare pristine medals and pilot helmets.

- Systems
- stanton
Steps
- Take security patrol contracts from Foxwell or Headhunters at orange to red threat level.
- Track down patrol coordinates and scan targets until an Ace Pilot is confirmed in the mission area.
- Deploy an EMP-equipped ship or use shutdown techniques to stop the target ship before it can flee or self-destruct.
- Strip the target ship's shields and deliver precise laser fire to disable or destroy the vessel while preserving the hull.
- Board or float over to the wreckage to loot pristine medals and ace pilot helmets from the inventory.
Risks
- Ace pilot ships may catapult into the void at maximum velocity if destroyed while moving too fast.
- High-risk patrol contracts feature much stronger enemy escorts that can overwhelm unprepared pilots.
Required Capabilities
- Combat ship
- On-foot combat
